Cornus 'Gloria Birkett' Crocus ending with a purplish-pink heartCornus 'Gloria Birkett' is a species of Flowering Dogwood well known for their ease of care and low maintenance. The foliage appears a mid green when young, later turning to red and purple as Autumn approaches. Tiny green flowers appear in a tight cluster and are surrounded by large white bracts that, just like the foliage, gain a shade of pink and then red as they age and later give way to small, berries in the Autumn. A low maintenance, easy to grow
